THE PANHANDLE.

| From the Mobeetie Panhandle THE GA
zETTE takes this information concerning
! the section which is now attracting such
general attention: "From the increasing
number of inquiries we are receiving
from parties who desire to better their
lot by moving to new country, the in
ference is unavoidable that the present
year will see such an influx of strangers
among US as was never seen before in any
frontier country. To attempt to answer
their questions in detail would occupy
we can say that few, if any other, coun-
tries offer such inducements to live, en-
ergetic men as the Panhandle does, inre-
gard to climate, quality of our land and
healthfulness. Agriculture has not been
carried on extensively, but the
few farmers who have been here
any length of time have built them
selves up to afiuence. AS home for the
stock farmers, this country offers the in
ducement of never-falling water supply,
nutritious grasses and short winters. The
conditions for agriculture are favorable,
the land being of the richest quality and
the rainfall above the average of the state
of Texas. The first years operations on
the farm are not liable to bring the ia rm-
er plethora of wealth, as it takes time
to bring the land into proper state OF
cultivation. By commencing in the fall,
however, and blowing thoroughly, fair
crop can be safely reckoned on, and prices
will remain high for some time yet. Fruit
trees do exceptionally well here, and the
grape, plum, currant, etc, are Indigenous
to our soil"

OF THE Governors veto the Austin
Statesman says: "The position assumed
by Governor Ross in the tax proclama'
ton issued yesterday, as regards non
resident tax owners, is novel one. But
that it is just one will appear evident
on reflection. Property is property,
whether owned by man living inside of
Texas or residing in New York, and it
would be a manifest injustice to exempt
one acre from immediate forced sale and
let another acre adjoining be sold because
they belonged to two and different
classes of citizens"

An Animated Appeal by the Editor.
Colorado Miner.

Do you owe US anything? If you do
you will kindly get up and hump your
selves, hustle around and send US, if not
all you owe, at least part. There is a
limit to even an editot's endurance. It
costs money to print paper, ink costs
money, the wearing away of the gray
tissue of the brain is purchased Some
people may be able to exist on snoWbslls,
and during the siege of Paris hundreds of
people lived on broth the nourishing
qualities of which were drawn from boiled
skate straps. We can't do il; we have
tried it. AS We sit in our frozen office
meditatiVely breaking icicles off the ink
bottle We think about these things; we
have to. -

East and West sectionaIism,
New York Star.

The influence of the east is used to
maintain system of taxation which is
so framed as to enrich the east at the ex-
pense of the south and west. 1t is
hardly to be expected that the great cot
ton and grain states should be patient
under taxes so unjust and oppressive.
The feeling which a reasonable sense Of
wrong engenders has begun to show
itself against all the things that are asked
for by the east. The west opposes our
methods in finance; 1t refuses to fortify
our cities, to but, a navy, and even so
small a thing as an addition to our
custom house is denied because the west
ern members will not vote for what New
York asks,

AT convention of coIored Odd Eel
lows held in the city of Brooklyn, T. Nc
Giants Stewart, in his address, spoke
earnest words of wisdom to his colored
brethren. He spoke of the future before
his race, and urged them to emulate the
example of energy shown by the white
people in all fields of labor, and assured
them that in the possession of the ballot
they had all the power necessary to en-
Joy the fullest rights of American citi-
zens. His eulogy of Mr.. Cleveland is
perhaps one OF the most gratifying
features of the address, as so much has
been said to prejudice the colored people
against the President. These are the
orators words:
Colored people have The perspicacity to ap
preciate su h noble, conscientious patriot as
President Cleveland. Frederick Douglass has
said of the President that his words of WISDOM
OF patriotism of friendly interest in the colored
people were never surpassed by Abraham Lin
coin, For two years Grover Cleveland has
shown the colored people in various ways that
he does not stop st words; that actions speak
louder than words In standing by the repub-
lie of Liberia in her hour of need; in refusing
to allow an imposition upon the republic of
Eayti, although she is weak in urging the pay.
ment of the moneys stolen from the colored
people by the Freedmen's Bank; in nominating
colored men to high and dignifed political
Offices; in saying to the Republican Senate,
which rejected Matthews on the ground that
black me have no right TO be Democrats, that
there could be no slavery of any kind in this
free country, and in sending to the Senate the
name of Lieutenant Trotter the black soldier

MISS CLARA LOUISE KELLOGG has pro-
nounced against the high hat at enter
tainments given by her. She sends in sd-
vance to the newspapers of suburban
towns a circular in which she requests
the ladies to go to the opera house pre-
pared to remove their hats or bonnets,
citing the example of her audiences in
London and New York. This request she
puts in the form of personal favor, and
few ladies will ignore it.

A life-like and powerful picture of the
romantic era in the history of Texas forty
years ago, this mastery story of love and
adventure deals with the chivalrous side
of Indian life, the magnificent daring of
the famous Texan Rangers, the pstri-
srChal ard hospitabIe manners of the race
of opulent Southern planters, and con-
dition of affairs on the border which has
magnificent scope to the pen of the novel
ist. From first to last the reader is
treated to a rapidly moving panorama of
startling events and situations which

abated. The next instaIIment of this

EXCURSION RATES.

BONHAM, Ten, April Is, 1887. :
To the Editor of the Gazette.
DEAR SIR-As the inter state law does not
prohibit special rates inside the state, wnat Is
to prevent ros DIS establishing offices at the state
lines for the selling of tickets at excursion
rates across the state or to any part of 1t. For
instance: On an excursion to st. Louis could
they not sell tickets at TeXarkana good to the
Missouri state line and return, and at that point
the az, Mt sell tickets good to st. Louis and re
turn 10 that point etc. BY answerinS oblige an
old reader. !. NJ. HARRIS.
If our correspondent is contemplating
an excursion venture it would be safer
for him to solicit an opinion from Judge
Cooley. The question presented to THE
GAZETTE is similar to the one that has
confronted newspapers with reference to
passes, viz: How can the devil be whip
ped around the stump? The editors have
decided that it can be done, and the law
violated in spirit If not in letter, just as
our correspondent suggests. The editors
argue that the law is Interstate and does
not affect action within a state, and
that a road can issue separate
pass for each state. But THE GAZETTE
believes this, as well as the sale of excur-
sion tickets, "by States" would be vio-
lation of the letter of the law, and
very plainly it would be of the intent of
the law. An excursion from Bonham
to Galveston might get special rates, IN
the absence of any state prohibition; but
an excursion from st. Louis to FL Paso
would not if the intent of the law were
observed

Rhode Island needs good stirring up,

MIR. BIaine's Queer Notion.

Mr. Blaine is said to be possessed of s
superstitious feeling that the termination
of his name in sc" instead OF "n" has
been fatal to his presidential aspirations.
Had he been named Washington or
Jefferson it would have been all right.
Their immortal names, as we all know,

reason to dread the sou that begins, the
other mans name.

THE Houston Post observes that ''North
Texas Journalism is indeed progressive. "
The Post, ever wide awake, will also
observe that ''shriveled localism"
hourlshes in this "black waxey" soil,
which of other crops produces nothing
shriveled. Even a transportation from
sand to the "blsck waxey" becomes
shriveled in short time.

it can be fairly and

that in no portion of

there will be no need !
to make any changes

whether it was the
best method Of deal

edge it's beneficent
